Pitch I set with a gauge for +/-12. I just never considered doing similar for cyclic. At least I don't recall doing so. Maybe I did and I'm not remembering. I thought I treated it similar to the 7200BX cyclic ring setting, though. I set it to maximum where it would not bind anything when I was at full max and min pitch and full ail/ele in both directions. The Ikon app description really doesn't specify what you should do with it.
IF you want to set it for a maximum cyclic pitch angle, go for it. The worst that will happen is that your roll rates will be artificially limited, or perhaps roll rate consistency will vary at the high end due to not having enough headroom to correct for inertia, wind, etc. IF you see that happening, easy enough to go in and put a few more points onto the setting.
I need to do some research and see what others are doing on this. Maybe I've been doing it wrong this whole time. Entirely possible. Or, as I said, I am totally forgetting about measuring cyclic angle with a gauge.
